Roger Weisberg‘s Critical Condition, which airs this fall on POV, answers the question with the stories of four individuals who struggle with health problems without insurance: together with their loved ones, they are forced to confront difficult financial and emotional decisions as they fight for their lives. It’s a problem that faces a sixth of the nation every day, as the ranks of the uninsured swell toward 50 million.

Watch Critical Condition on PBS, September 30 at 10 p.m.; or view the trailer online.

I’ll be facilitating a sneak-preview screening and discussion at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, NY (about two hours north of New York City), Saturday, June 21, at 1:30 PM. If you’re interested in attending, please do  the screening and discussion are free!

What’s your position on health care policy? Come talk about it this weekend at Upstate Films, or post a comment below!
